It's back to more of the usual city vibes again.

Youko just seems to attract attention wherever she goes. This episode bought out her charms. VA did a good job at protraying her sid character and personality imo. Also kinda impressed on how much drinks she had during this night. Akira still out there in the nature but he keeps his calm and usual self.

Peh Daiyocha KO'd by Yoko's who is in it for the thrill.

Akira seemed like he was enjoying the trip.

Fable and Kuro versus the bear, Youko versus Kawai. One example in nature and one in the city of predators who are blind to their own peril. Eating vipers apparently makes you horny, and the bartender's commentary was hilarious. Wonder what's in store next.

The two greatest battle of the anime season in one episode. Kawai and the Bear never had a chance.

it was great episode ;]

I wonder if that trick with tent was only to confuse the bear or also something else?
Youko is cruel, but they both got 20 tequila? that is like 800 ml of 35-40% of alcohol in only few hours.. even I would stop at 500ml in so short time without eating :D

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;)

I cannot stop laughing at the transition from the bear to Yoko. What this show lacks in budget and animated flare, it more than makes up for it with material.

Diabolical is Youko, that bitch is a generational troll, imo you could take away Akira and this anime would still contend for anime of the year, absolute cinema ngl, I wouldn't mind a spinoff, she stunted on Kawai so hard bro ordered a water on a night of tequila shots lmao.

Youko-chan is the type who, when asked "Would you rather be stuck in a forest with a man or a bear?" would definitely choose the man, just to see him suffer. xD

Akira harvesting a snake for its poison to be used on the bear, it's giving Kuro a rather in-depth look further Akira's thinking. But to have a boner while eating viper meat, it's the wrong thing at the wrong time, that Akira can easily spot his boner, and it's quite typical. Meanwhile, Yoko's date with Kawai, the latter is really looking forward to it, not realizing that he's seen her quite a fair few times to know her well, with the bartender's commentary adding the comedic flair.

The battle has begun: the guys against a bear, and Yoko against Yuki Kawai. The flirtatious nature of both man and woman, as well as the survival nature of the guys, it's interesting battles back and forth, and as Akira surmised to teach the bear in 6 seconds to fear humans, he's fearless, and so too is Yoko in being the Drunk Queen that Kawai will not relent on his defeat to her, that too bad, he's down by acute alcohol poisoning. And the day comes when Yoko must fetch both Akira and Kuro from the mountains, and they are all in one piece, except for Kuro having a stinged nose from bees, earning a Blackhawk knife in the process.

What an entertaining episode, one of the best in the show.

This is one of best episodes if not THE best one so far. Definitely the funniest.
Yūki Kaji is back for another round!!! Oh, there was a bear too.
I'm calling the character by the VA's name 'cause I haven't cared to remember his actual name, but from now he will be remembered as Peh Daiyocha!
On a more serious note, I love the parallels between Yōko's and "Akira"'s stories. If this series had an adaptation like Bocchi it would be a masterpiece!

Truly two sides of the spectrum with Youko's toy vs. Youko, and Akira and Kuroshio vs. a bear. Think Youko's toy had a tougher opponent ngl xD

Bartender the goat btw.

Both siblings were after their prey. Youko is such an interesting and unusual character. Despite her profound experience of men, I wouldn't be surprised if imouto-san turned out to be a virgin. What gives her sexual pleasure or satisfaction is way different than usual.

What an incredible series. I absolutely love the Youko vs Loser drinking battle, with the bartender serving. There are no similar series at all. Also Fable vs bear and loser Ryou was great.

Kuro went through a lot this trip but hey at least he got a knife. Not much but it's something. He got some experience at least. He might never be a hit man but he got something at least out of this trip.

Yoko's battle and her overwhelming victory was easily the best part though
